Littleton went to bat and was out in ore. two, three order; Warrenton followed with same rapidity. In sec n,l inning neither scored. In third inninu neither side score, and Little ton began to get a shock. In the fourth and fifth and sixth innings neither scored and Littleton began t think it was not as smoothe sailing as he figured on with her Ports mouth pitcher. In the seventh inning Littleton scored two runs, and pan demonium broke loose. One would have thought that two runs was ail they ever had any idea of getting and that it was all over. In the eighth inning neither scored. In the last half of the ninth inning Warrenton pushed Jim Moore and McRobert Booth over the home plate and tied the score, and Littleton went way Uuk and got pale around the gills, in the tenth innnig a costly error by VVavrenton gave Littleton the one tal ly which won the game. .

EDWARD ALLEN County Superintendent v There is more need than there was Sver before, for information and co operation in the matter of public school money. There is need of the strictest economy, and at the same 1 ime there is need of the most im proved schools. The great question is: Can we get economy and better schools at the same time? We can, if the people of the county under stand our problem and assist in solv ing it. School funds are of four kinds. Let as study these four funds. ? Special Taxes in Special -Districts Special taxes are usually for three purposes; to provide better buildings and facilities; to provide a school term longer than six months, or to obtain better teachers than can be had at the State's rural salary sched ule. Consolidated schools l'equire bigger and better buildings; high schools require more than six months' term, and thoroughly effective teach ers can often get more salary than the State's schedule. For instance, in the Warrenton district last year, the committee found that they needed two better primary teachers than could be had at the state schedule. Therefore they fixed a higher pri mary schedule, as they had a right to do, and these two teachers alone were paid more than their rating would call for at the time contracts were signed, and no others received more. Each special district may make its own salary scale, which may be as much higher than the State scale as is necessary. The County Building Fund In the general county school fund, the building fund is the biggest prob lem. Many thousands of dollars are needed, and only a few, are to be had. The county Board of Education cut this to the very bone for the sake of economy, hoping for better conditions in the future. Only half of the calls for buildings could be met. lThe IncidentalrEipeiise h-; The largest part of the incidental fund is fixed, by law. In general, it is made barely large enough to pro tect buildings by insurance, keep the children comfortable, and pay neces sary general expense of operation. This fund was made about three fourths of what it was thought it ought to be for 1921-22. In addition to salary, the county superintendent's office costs less than $400. The Six Months' Salary Fund The salary fund includes salaries of all teachers provided by law (music teachers not included); sala ries of county superintendent; super visor, assist, superintendent if there is one; superintendent of public wel fare; drivers of transportation v hides. Now it. ought to be made plain in this connection that salaries are regulated by law, insofar as the county fund is concerned. No mattei what scale a district makes, its deal ings with the county money are on the state scale. Now the state law is so framed as to make it possible for a weak county to pay the same salaries as the strong county, up to the State scale; the State wishes to assist each county in doing this. For instance, in Warren county, the sal ary budget for the next session will be something close to $75,000.00 " and we cannot cut the State's salary scale- to any appreciable extent. .v Where shall we get all of this money ? Under the law we are re quired to levy such a tax rate for salaries as will yield approximately $58,000.00; we cannot levy less, and it will do us no good to levy more. Beyond that point, the State's funds pay the bills. These funds come from various sorts of indirect taxa tion, and much of this money comes from Warren county and is simpl given back to-it. It is no disgrace to us to use. trtfs additional: $17,000; nor should we stop the march of pro gress in any sense because we do so. If we were the richest county in the State, the State would still pay us back some money in this way.' If Warren doesn't get it other counties win. ' - And I direct attention to -another matter; if we stopped every truckj cut off school funds appropriated for ployed the lowest-priced teachers supervisor and welfare man, and eiri that can be had all over the county, the saving would not make us pay less than the $58,000 that we have to pay in for salry fund. On the M1CKIE SAYS- IF PEOfLED JfcST STOP f TKINU. THAT ADJEaTStN s The NeNSpp&a rAAtVs STOCK IN fRADE THEVd NOTHM UKE fHSY DO SOMET1M6S , MO WNOt Than theno thb OP.OCE0. PE FREE SACK OF FWOOW. 1 contrary, if we operate every truck we can buy, employ welfare man. supervisor and assistants as many as the school law permits, and pay th? highest salaries to tue highest quali fied teachers as set out in the school law, we shall not have to pay one cent more than the same $58,000 for county six fnonth's salary fund. The State wants us to get our share of State funds, and if we do not get it, by making every sanely progres sive move for good schools and good teaching, we shall not do our full duty. Economy, good business, progress and better schools are possible to gether, if we intelligently co-operat. and strive for them. Mr. B. B. Williams Attends Meeting Mr. B. B. Williams has returned from Chapel Hill where he attended a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University. In conversation with. Mr. Williams 1-he stated-that -the University had grown to that extent that the corps of teachers were in greater number in 1921 than the comhined student body was thirty years ago. He also stated that the present plant was worth more than the combined appropria tions of the State for the past years in which appropriations have been made. Many improvements are be ing made to take care of the growing demands by the sons and daughters of North Carolina for an education at the Univesity. MRS. LAURA H.

STONE AD DRESSES FARMERS Head of Farmer's Union 'Makes Talk In Court House Saturday Afternoon June -18. Organi zation Was His Subject. President Stone Speaks Here Selecting as his topic Organization and Co-operation President R. H. W. Stone of the State Farmers Union spoke for more than an hour Satur day afternoon to about fifty farmers in the Court House here. Mr. Stone spoke of the necessity of organization, in the family, the church, the State. He pointed out the fact that the merchants, the bank ers, the undertakers, the preachers, the druggists, the manufacturers were all organized, and said they were right in doing so. That organi zation was self-preservation. Having shown that the world looked upon organisation of capital as essential to the world's business, he urged the farmers to organize for their own protection. But Mr. Stone drew the attention of his hearers to the fact that each organization only admitted members who were whole-heartedly engaged in the business of that particular organ ization; the merchants only admitted merchants; the bankers only admitteu bankers, the lawyers only lawyers; but that the farmers admitted all classes, and as a consequence the farmers were pulled about by conflict ing interests. "You farmers must organize 100 per cent -farmers," said Mr. Stone. He talked of the Gange and of its great work of the Past, of the Farmers' Alliance and its great 1 achievements in material things, and of what the Farmers Union had done under his guidance in getting relief from the tax burden, by its work be fore the last Legislature. He thought the farmers should stay out of partisan politics, but vote for those men who represented their interest regardless of political label; that he had been a Democrat all his life, but that he believed that it was time for the farmers to fol low the advice of Gould : In a re publican district, if they were in ma jority to back the Republicans, be cause he wanted a representative at, the time he needed him; that in at Democratic district, if the Democrats i- (Continued On Page Four) I Marriage Of Pop- ular Young Couple!
